Description of goods and accuracy of product info.

Whilst we try to photograph and describe our work as clearly and realistically as possible, due to the handmade nature of our jewellery some items may differ slightly from the image on the website. Please remember that colours and images may also vary depending on the monitor and browser you are using.

We have tried to make all images, prices, descriptions, specifications and advertising on this site are as accurate as possible, but errors may occur and they are for the sole purpose of giving an approximate description of the goods.

Images may not be to actual size. Some manufacturing processes and natural materials, for example certain mark making techniques, finishes or gemstones, are more liable to variation than others. We feel this just adds to the individuality and uniqueness of our pieces but do feel free to contact us if you have any queries about your order.

This site may contain typographical mistakes, inaccuracies, or omissions, some of which may relate to pricing and availability, and some information may not be complete or current. We reserve the right to correct any errors, inaccuracies or omissions -- including after an order has been submitted -- and to change or update information at any time without prior notice. We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Availability of goods

All work is manufactured in house so we are generally able to send orders out within 2-5 days, depending on payment clearance. If we have a run on a certain product or are experiencing exceptionally busy period, especially around Christmas, delivery times may be extended. Often it is actually the hallmarking that can cause delays to an order. We therefore generally quote 1-3 weeks for standard silver orders and 2-4 weeks for gold/ platinum pieces.

Commissioned pieces can obviously take longer depending on time taken to agree the design and the complexity of the piece. Please do let us know if you have an important deadline date and we will make sure we meet that target or inform you accordingly of what is possible.
